Under The covers Band At Grantham Castle Gate -My First Gig Event | DanielMarshallAdventures



I am writing this as the event is still going off which i will get to later on.
This is a image of the Band i went to see at Grantham Castle Gate.
They are called Under The covers and they have been the first Gig Band i have ever seen.



I saw this poster Around Grantham and was thinking in my mind for days weather or not to go.
I dont do Clubs, or busy pubs with live events etc Because of it being very crowded and not much room to move.
I have been to other events such as Capital FM to see Example but that was a different experience much better crowd control and i was in the seated section although i did get up to jump up and down hehe.

My Mental Health which i am proud to talk about has always got in the way of me enjoying life.
For years i wanted to see gigs around Grantham but always said it was not my thing, etc.

I knew it was going to be a test for my anxiety which it really did test me.
I got there at 8.15 and it was already busy, by the time the band has started it was packed to the point you could not move, my chest felt like it was on fire, i could hardly breath and i said to myself no you are not escaping, learn to live a little.

So Thats what i did, i was stood in different postions but as the band started managed to get the perfect stop up front.
I wanted to make sure although it was packed if i was upfront i would have less to worry about.
as the band got into the songs so was i,tapping to the music, and really enjoying it.
Because the music was not to loud even more so since i was upfront it was just a magical experience.
Its so hard to explain but all your problems just disappear, you feel like jumping up and down even though i did hold myself back as not to make a fool of myself.
The band was amazing, and really getting into the songs themselves, just having fun which is what music is all about !!!
Sadly I had to leave before the next act was on just to always that one person, who decides when a band is playing to get totally smashed.
Shout things, bump into people, try to dance with the ladies who clearly are not bothered to the point there was nearly a fight.
But hey this is what happens when music is played live.
I went to spledour cant spell it in nottingham 5 years a go, it was outside, it was mid afternoon, it was packed, and idiots throwing things, ruined the experience.

The problem for me is it was my first time and my first time going to a event like that in Grantham by myself.
There may not have been a fight if i stayed but since i was up front i did not want to take the risk of being caught in the fight, or being trampled if something bad happend.

It would have been nice to stay to see the other act but i guess one step at a time,
It was also the first event i have seen for first and i do hope to go to more events like that if they are either free or very cheap (:

I walked back home feeling over the top, my heart pumping, its hard to explain but sure you can dance up and down to tunes at home, or when you have headphones on but there is no experience, no frill.
Being part of a community, and just letting your hair down is the best experience ever.
Its just something i have to get used to,

I would like to see under the covers again, and i hope they go far in life.
One day i would like to see my all time fav band nickel-back !!!!

Thank you to castle Gate Grantham for hosting the event, and thank you to the people who made the atmosphere even better with cheers etc  - one guy of course (:
